Here are but a few of the outdoor cukes I have managed to grow for the first time.
Shame they are a bit bitter.
Does anyone have a preference as to what I might try next year?
The sweeter the better and with no spikes.
I grew crystal Lemon outdoors this year.... they are round cucumbers and quite sweet, no spikes hardly and a funny yellow colour. Only problem was that the skins were a bit tough.....
but can't have everything..... :-\
White Wonder is very good... def spike free.. I find I have to grow it under glass though.. :-X
marketmore has done me proud this year, you might want to try to get an early one in the GH until the outdoors ones start cropping...
that said I ate an overgrown Parisian Pickling gherkin a couple of weeks ago and it was lovely...you need ot peel the skin off though as they are like armour once they're 8" long.....
